Comune > Olimpiadi 2006 > Olympic Truce
The Pigotta, a rag doll whose sales enable UNICEF to vaccinate thousands
of children every year, has now become the Olympic Pigotta.
Thanks to cooperation between TOROC and UNICEF, a special set of 20 Pigotta
dolls will be released representing Olympic and Para-Olympic disciplines,
all bearing the Torino 2006 logo.
The new Pigotta dolls will be on display during the run-up to the Games,
and auctioned at the end of the Olympics.
Proceeds will serve to finance a vaccination program in countries that open
special humanitarian corridors, implementing the appeal of the General Assembly
of the United Nations to observe the Olympic Truce during the Torino 2006
Games, where UNICEF will conduct immunization campaigns.
